The Kremlin warns that tensions in the Middle East are rising due to the attacks by the USA and Israel on Iran. Peskov: 'The geography of the conflict has expanded'

The Kremlin declared on Monday that the war against Iran is intensifying both geographically and economically, stating that the entire region of the Middle East is 'in flames' due to the attacks by the United States and Israel on the Islamic Republic.

The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the statements of American President Donald Trump, who threatened attacks on Iranian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. Peskov emphasized that Russia is aware of Trump's threats but preferred not to comment directly. He highlighted that the level of tensions in the region continues to rise, having negative consequences for the global economy. Peskov also mentioned that the geography of the conflict has expanded, which brings additional risks to regional and international stability.
